Key To My Heart Memory Showcase Box

Here is a Memory Showcase box which I made some time ago - I LOVE this paper - absolutely beautiful and it is such a shame that it is no longer available :O( But I thought I would share it anyway. I added Sorbet and Cocoa exclusive inks and used a Sorbet Exclusive Marker to color in the edges. I find, when I make these boxes, that it is easier to cut the paper and cardstock slightly smaller than the actual box and use markers and ink pads to distress the box itself. The flower at the top of the journalling area is actually 3 hearts and then embellished with cocoa ribbon.

Again I used the hearts and layered them at the edge of the title piece and used 3D foam squares to give dimension. Again Cocoa ribbon adds texture.

On this side panel of the box I embossed the key in Silver Embossing powder on a separate piece of cardstock and then cut it out and added it so that it looks like it is about to go into the key hole :O)
